Zelda is the most talked about game on social media (12–14th June 2016). The game was mentioned over 75.000 times*, more than the up-comers Battlefield 1 and God of War.

* Based on 10% sample of overall conversation.

Holy shit it's not even close. Well deserved imo though. Game looks amazing

 

[Newtype-001]

Too right.
Winner

 

[Plinko]

Crash Bandicoot at 7th, yet we still can't get a new game. The market is there, people.

 

[DarthButcher]

That looks like a chart of international military spending.

 

[DNAbro]

Deserved. Game looks astounding.

 

[Kathian]

Treehouse did the same thing last year. What happens when your sitting Live for people to wander in at any time and just giving out info throughout the day.

Splatoon hype was basically born there.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Expected and deserved.

 

[RPGamer92]

Makes sense when Nintendo fans have nothing else to talk about.

 

[Maxrunner]

In a perfect world the next games should be the pirates one from Rare and The last Guardian....

 

[Nibel]

"Nintendo needs a stage show, otherwise they are fucked"

Makes sense when Nintendo fans have nothing else to talk about.

Didn't know there were more Nintendo fans than Sony, Microsoft and PC platform fans combined, damn

 

[Duxxy3]

So far it's my favorite thing at E3.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Crash Bandicoot at 7th, yet we still can't get a new game. The market is there, people.

I have faith. Remaster to get the team used to the concept, new game after.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Burn

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Easily game of the show

 

[Steejee]

Treehouse is probably the best thing anyone has come up with for E3 in the last few years.

 

[Konomori]

Nintendo is a big Company and except Pokemon, it is the only Game they have shown.
It also was 5 hours of Gameplay so more than any other.
And of course, it looks Amazing.

 

[J@hranimo]

Makes sense when Nintendo fans have nothing else to talk about.

Welp, here it is.

I'm kinda surprised Horizon Zero Dawn isn't higher. Strange.

 

[JimJamJones]

 

[Kouriozan]

A mainline Zelda game that plays like no other, plus the divisive fanbase being even more divisive could explain it.
What's sure is that Aonuma didn't lie about breaking the conventions.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Where is the lie tbh

 

[N.Grim]

Deserved

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Makes sense when Nintendo fans have nothing else to talk about.

Is the reasoning here that there are more Nintendo fans than anything else

Because we know that's not true

 

[sixteen-bit]

Congrats on the viral hype. Would this game have potential to be the best selling WiiU game? Splatoon will be hard to top.

 

[axisofweevils]

Hopefully people will stop saying "Nintendo needs to be on stage to get attention" now. Also, the youtube trailer has been watched 3 million times so far.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Billions of Nintendo fans have no gamez.

 

[Shiggy]

Makes sense when Nintendo fans have nothing else to talk about.

To be honest, it's probably the only non-gun game with decent footage.

 

[Newtype-001]

Actually kinda surprised Horizon isnt very high.

 

[moolamb]

What's the data source?

This smells to me like dodgy statistics. Grouping of terms etc. And why are there two Final Fantasy XV?

I love Zelda but let's not get carried away.

 

[ieptbarakat]

Considering they banked their entire E3 presence on this, it would be sad if it wasn't.

 

[Maxrunner]

Welp, here it is.

I'm kinda surprised Horizon Zero Dawn isn't higher. Strange.

Its a Guerilla Games game.....and i don't really trust them.....we all know they can do realistic graphics....

 

[James Scott]

It was pretty hype. The game demoed very well and there was a ton to talk about.

But i have a feeling that it's not only because of that. Game of the show. Not less, not more.

 

[Ydelnae]

Some people tweet is as Final Fantasy XV and others as Final Fantasy 15. The same thing happens with Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront.

 

[Crayolan]

That's a surprisingly big lead. Wow.

 

[Simbabbad]

Looks like their strategy wasn't that silly after all.

 

[N.Grim]

Congrats on the viral hype. Would this game have potential to be the best selling WiiU game? Splatoon will be hard to top.

Impossible, the game will come out on NX simultaneously

 

[Falcs]

Two Final Fantasy 15's??

 

[Octavianus]

Are people divisive about it though? I've pretty much only seen people being positive torwards it, barring the odd comment here and there.

Actually kinda surprised Horizon isnt very high.

Yeah same. That was my game of the show before seeing the new Zelda.

 

[makingmusic476]

Deserved. Looks fantastic.

 

[March of the Crabs]

Well deserved. Best game at E3.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Zelda was fantastic and different in ways that was bound to get gamers talking. It being the most talked about game is expected.

I'm kinda surprised Horizon Zero Dawn isn't higher. Strange.

Same here, what we saw was pretty damn impressive.

 

[J@hranimo]

Congrats on the viral hype. Would this game have potential to be the best selling WiiU game? Splatoon will be hard to top.

Nah, NX version will exist.

Its a Guerilla Games game.....and i don't really trust them.....we all know they can do realistic graphics....

I don't know much about Sony studios and their track record besides Naughty Dog and Insomniac, but this game looks pretty and has interesting enough gameplay. Can't be bad.

 

[komplanen]

Other than the Wii U version looking real nasty, the gameplay alone is worth all this talk. Day 1 on NX, assuming NX is any good.

 

[Meesh]

Welp, there certainly is a lot to talk about this time around. It's hype!!!

 

[DarknessTear]

Should probably stack those FFXV numbers.

 

[Bubaer]

Hmm, Star Wars Battlefront is mentioned twice, once with the “:“ and once without.

 

[CLBridges]

If that's accurate then I can dig it. The footage I saw looks real good and fun. Haven't played an LoZ since Twilight Princess but looking forward to this one.

Thanks. It looks like a lot of effort into the analysis, but I guess it's purely based on twitter data? I'm just skeptical of these metrics. Because Nintendo only presenting one game means all their usual mentions will be grouped into this one game. So it's not really an indicator of the game's actual impact, but rather the method of data gathering being biased to Nintendo's format.
